The 60 amp leece neville and the prestolite and the autolite versions were all interchangeable to the same application... as they were physically mountable and internallly regulated. Of course there were variations in voltage and amperage for different applications... but the 60 amp 28V DC...
Maximun allowable towed load is shown on the dash data plates and in the manual you have coming... Realistically you need a 5 ton with Cummins minimum to do the job at hand...
Kickback in a Deuce is usually sprag related... not so in a air shift version. You will be getting tire and wheel imbalance around 40 mph... and loose wheel bearings and uneven tire pressures contribute, too
Above statement subject to conjecture from several fronts. The speedometer head for the early trucks was 25051889 and in 1987...the last of the CUCV it changed to another # 25052373 with interchangeability back to 1984. I would speculate that the Contact Maintenance truck in question here...
With air in the tank, and the engine not running apply brakes and listen for air pak operation...as you release them the air exits. check for operation at the glad hands for the trailer to verify, too. Run the truck with no air ...tank drain open and emergency glad hand open. and check to see...
RE: filter
If there is no white scum in it... aka water, it should be fine. Getting water out of one of those cranes is a lifetime job.... I ran one for chocolate milk in it for years and warned the buyer that the oil needed to be changed and allowed him $100 on the sale price.
They are probably worn in enuf by now.. Are you sure the heat is not from the brakes dragging...?? Jack it up and see if they spin free..... Bearings are finiky... I always try to err on the loose side after they are set in I back off a flat or so, and check for a barely perceptible rocking...
I have three or four of them in my flea market trailer...somewhere in a snow bank.. later nylon type real thing....$25 new....maybe in Bula, my camper... PM with request and I will notify when I find em.
power steering on the Cummins uses engine oil. The Mil Std alternators of 60 amp 28 volt design by Autolite (prestolite) and Leece Neville are interchangeable as a unit, but not individual parts. You really need to invest in the Cummins M800 series manuals of the 260 variety... as in TM...
Be advised that the original tire size is 9.50R16.5D. note the 16.5 wheels. If you have 16s, they are replacements. If you have original wheels the 265/75-16s will not fit.
RE: Re: RE: WTB Igntion Coil for M123/M125
It is the standard Delco Remy sealed distributor as used on ever so many M series trucks and the coil is the same as used on the Reo/Studebaker gasser and the M135/M211 etc. Points, condenser, resistor and capacitor are all the same, too... Any of...
